I am a Hilton diamond member. I have been fortunate enough to experience many interesting Hilton properties. The Hilton Amsterdam is one of the best Hilton Hotels that I have ever experienced.

We arrived at the Hilton Amsterdam on Apololaan at approximately 9:30AM, which was earlier than we expected. Upon checking-in at the reception desk, we were offered free breakfast in the hotel's Roberto restaurant.

Breakfast:We enjoyed a terrific buffet breakfast on the restaurant's terrace. The quality of the food is superb. The restaurant staff was extremely cheerful, and helpful. They made us feel welcomed, and feel as valued guests in their hotel.

Restaurant:The hotel restaurant is beautifully laid out. The staff is welcoming, attentive and most importantly friendly. The quality of the food is wonderful!

Lobby:The hotel lobby is open, and bright, and beautiful, and spacious.

Every time we walked by the reception desk the staff greeted us cheerfully, by name. This was greatly appreciated.

Guest room:The hotel room itself was fabulous, exceptionally clean and comfortable. The bathroom was fully appointed with fluffy robes and slippers, and large thick towels.

Terrace and Canal:The back of the hotel is as beautiful, or more beautiful than the front of the hotel. The back of the hotel is on a scenic canal. The stepped terrace has beautiful seating for dining, or enjoying the serene environment with drinks, while watching canal boats glide along. The hotel has a private marina where various vessels docked.

Executive Lounge: The rooftop executive lounge is wonderful. Everything is complimentary. Delicious Dutch specialities are hot, and the beer/wine is chilled on ice. Spirits are also available complimentary, I prefer Belgian or Dutch beer over hard-drinks. The sofa seating is very comfortable.

Tram: The Amsterdam tram is a short two-block walk from the hotel to the Apollolaan tram stop. Tram tickets are conveniently available in the hotel's gift shop. The museums are only two stops away from the hotel. The world famous Van Gogh Museum, and other museums, are very walkable from the hotel. You can reach the Anne Frank House via tram.

Best Experience:Chef Paul walked through the restaurant greeting everyone at breakfast. He took the time to sit with us and explain the offerings and the preparations. The Chef is from Los Angeles, and has been in The Netherlands for 30+ years with Hilton. The experience with Chef Paul was wonderful! I will try to include our photo with Chef Paul.

Away from the bustle of central Amsterdam, right on a canal, with lovely views, the hotel was a perfect choice for a quick stay in the city. It's located close to a tram stop, so very easy to get around the city. The staff was very pleasant, and Roberto's restaurant in the hotel was excellent - both for breakfast and for dinner.

This was a great hotel. The rooms are large and quiet and comfortable. We really enjoyed the hotel bar and being on the end of the canal. The setting was beautiful and tranquil. We booked an upgrade so that breakfast was included. This saved money in the long run. Gio was very very helpful in advising us of how to get into town. It was an easy trip on the tram into the center of town. Amsterdam is an easy and beautiful city to explore. Don't fear the Red Light district. It is a great place to explore and there are nice places for dinner. Chinatown is also nearby. The Hilton is located in a quiet neighborhood and it was a nice place to return to after sightseeing.

We stayed at the Hilton for a weekend and the hotel is wonderful. The staff are charming and the location of the hotel is perfect if you don’t want to be in the heart of a city centre but away from the hustle and bustle. Located on a canal the hotel is perfect for a quiet weekend away but is close enough (a short tram ride) into the heart of Amsterdam. The room, overlooking the canal was wonderful, the bed comfortable and the room spotless. The only downside was that the drinks were very expensive in the hotel, the cheapest bottle of red was 50 Euros, soft drinks were very expensive as well. Apart from that I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to stay in Amsterdam.

Room Tip: Go for a Canal facing room if you can. It is worth it!!

Dear Mr. JameskKent,

What a nice review of Hilton Amsterdam!

It is wonderful to read how you have enjoyed our services and facilities. The location of our hotel is indeed perfect. It is, as you mentioned, in a quiet residential neighbourhood with all attractions easy accessible. Renting a bicycle from our concierge is a fun, Dutch way to explore the city.

We are looking forward to welcoming you back.

My husband and I chose this hotel on recommendation from a friend. It is excellent. The staff in particular are so friendly and can't do enough to help. Laura in the bar and Johnny the chef were exceptionally helpful. The room was lovely overlooking the canal and the bed was really comfortable. This was our first visit and we will return.
